INTRODUCTION. 

Wise teachers of young people are always 
seeking methods of interesting them in Bible 
study. The devotional books for daily reading, 
many and varied as they are, do not attract 
these young minds, and the author of these 
attractive pages has felt the need of just such 
simple helps as are here found. 

If mothers and fathers would stimulate their 
children to gather daily these grains of heavenly 
manna, there would, in time, be a knowledge of 
the Bible on all the great verities of life that 
would prove of incalculable value. 

It is believed that young people of our Junior 
Christian Endeavor Societies and others who 
are to lead similar meetings, will welcome the 
aid which this little book will afford them. 

The author is well known as a successful 
worker among children in connection with Dr. 
Pentecost's work in this country and in Great 
Britain, as well as through valuable services 
rendered in connection with the Chicago Evan- 
gelization Society. 

May the new ministry of this lover of the 
boys and girls in our homes bring a fulfillment 
of the very words in the blessed Book. 

And all thy children shall be taught of the 
Lord ; and great shall be the peace of thy children. 

S. B, Capron. 
Bible Institute, Chicago. 



PREFACE. 

This book has been prepared with the special 
purpose of giving the Word of God in a palat- 
able form to young people who profess faith in 
Christ. The Red Letter Readings are 
arranged in as concise a form as possible, so 
that any boy or girl can easily read the selected 
texts each day in the year, and by this means 
cultivate a love for the Word. 

These readings will be of special service to 
Christian workers and "busy people who have 
not time to prepare such matter. May God 
bless the reading of His Word. 

Bessie B. Tyson.
